Forget everything you know about stout. Forget what you think it tastes like. And forget having to go to Dublin to get a good pint of it. There’s a new stout in town, and it’s demanding your attention.
Chocolate and extra dark crystal malts give layers of roasted, toasted coffee and cocoa, with a hint of caramel coming through. Classic stout, brewed in and for this century. Old dog, new tricks.

Limenka 0,44L iz požeškog Kauflanda - pjena se neda i nakon 10 minuta je još uvijek tu. Blag i lagan stout, idealan za par komada uz tekmu

Nitro can, 0.44l. Black pour, one finger creamy beige head, long lasting, sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, roasted malt and coffee notes, light berries in the background. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft and creamy, nice chewiness to it. Roasty bitter taste balanced with mild sweet notes in the background. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Light ashy, some bready notes in the background. Mild stickiness. Medium lasting finish, dry, bittersweet, roasty. Solid stout.

Black with creamy, beige head. Aroma of burnt grains, earth, licorice. Taste is bitter the whole way through with a faint berry tang underneath. Body to the light side of medium, smooth, mild carbonation. Traditional. Nice!

Tap Brewdog Merchant city. Darkest brown, creamy tanned head. Light roast chocolate nose. Medium light body, creamy mouthfeel. Pleasant roast and chocolate flavor, good balance of dry to sweet, roast grain and dark chocolate aftertaste.

Kicsi, de örökké tartó bézs hab, fekete szín. Pirítós kenyeres illat, némi aszalt cseresznyével. A nitrogéntől rendkívül lágy, visszafogott, pirítós kenyeres, kávés ízvilág. Könnyű, nem szénsavas, alig kesernyés. Egyértelműen a Guinness Draught ellenfele. Ebből hiányzik az Ír enyhe gyógynövényes aromája, de egyébként szinte ugyanaz. Rendkívüli módon itatja magát.

Can from Tesco's. Dark brown to black with a thin beige head. Milk chocolate and coffee up front; a little fag ash comes through. Rather watery. Feels like they're aiming for a Guinness clone, but this surprisingly lacks the character of the more famous brew. Easy drinking and pleasant enough, but it's rather disappointing that these days Brewdog struggle to beat even the macro brews.
